Big thanks to my homie Z-TRIP who i've had the pleasure of knowing for over a decade in our Gravis days together (big up Luis Calderin).As well as having the honor to open up and share the turntables during a few parties together.He is and has been 1 of the inspirations to my dj style,and i can't even fathom that he's showing so much love and gonna headline mt benefit at HIGHER GROUND.You can check with them for updates and more information on the evening.
Also have to shoutout BURTON SNOWBOARDS for everything they have done and are doing for this show also.
I could go on for days thanking everyone for their help and support,but that would be it's own blog...lol I am blessed to have friends and a community like the one i have.
one love!
I'll be back on the block soon!
DJ A-Dog

There are few DJs that work as hard as Zach Sciacca aka Z‑Trip.
On the road or in the studio. In front of thousands of fans or alone on the side of a mountain, Zach is always working at his craft and trying to be the best he can be. His passion is music, no matter what the style. Always trying to innovate and find new ways of blending tracks and constructing sets. It's this passion and dedication that has led him to become one of the worlds premier DJs.
"I'm constantly living on no sleep. I'm constantly living on deadlines. I'm also constantly trying to outdo my shows and myself, get better and pay attention to what's coming in. There's a lot of processing.
"I wake up every morning ready to go on some, whats next? What can I do? How can I learn? How can I absorb?"
Rather than on stage, in the heat of the moment, it's the time away from the spotlight where Z‑Trip finds his inspiration.

Andy (DJ A-Dog) was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on December 19, 2012. Because of his cytogenetics, he must have a bone marrow transplant in order to be cured, making it a life saving procedure for Andy. A global registry run by Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. I urge you all to please consider becoming part of the Be The Match donor database and spreading the word to everyone you know. Even if you aren't a match for Andy you could save someone elses life! (See link below)
Because of Andy's ethnicity (Filipino/African Amercian) he is facing some unique challenges in finding a match, as are other people who are of mixed race. Currenty, only 4% of registered donors are of mixed race, creating an urgent need for these donors. Markers used in finding a match are inherited which means patients are more likely to match someone from their own ancestry. Adding more donors from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to the Be The Match Registry increases the likelihood that all patients will find the match they need.
Registering is an easy & painless process of requesting a free cheek swab kit from Be The Match. You will then be in the global registry for patients that are in need, including Andy. About 1 in 540 people who join will become a bone marrow donor. With modern technology dontaing bone marrow is free, quick and easy.
Please follow this link to join the registry and give hope to people like Andy all over the world. MARROW.ORG
No matter what your ethnicity or background please consider joining the bone marrow registry, the more people that join the better the chance that Andy will find a match and be cured! Please register and spread the word as quickly as possible - this is a time sensitive process.
Thanks for your continual support,
Josie (Andy's partner)
Please contact me with any questions at LOVE 4 A.DOG
Or drop by FriendsForADog to keep up on his situation and recovery.
